Best Resurge Poems
a vivacious veil of violin
awakens the sleepy field~
the sky breaks into birdsong
and as tulips stretch wide
I behold petals pirouette
kissed by the morning sun
as rhythms rise~
celestial scents fill the air,
whilst the breeze
brushes his almond cheeks
that glow on first of May
and as the cadence softens,
I hear Spring’s susurrus laughter
in cascading notes of effulgence~
Oh, my soul begins to resurge
in perennial bloom.

Arise
Shed your old self
Let isolation back
Restart a new way of living
Release the grudge feelings that haunt your mind
Be kind to you, don't belittle
Give thanks for a new day
Don't waste your time

One
little
sunflower
alone among
many headless stems
poses by my mailbox.
Some summers ago, others
flourished there, but were all mown down.
If they can forgive their being slain,
perhaps they will resurge and rejoin her.
Today as I back my car out onto
the street, I chance to glance over where
that one new flower has remained,
and I see, to my delight,
that the lone sunflower
has brilliantly turned
into a small
and gracious
group of
three!

An immortal legacy
None is immortal all destined to die
the humble mason or the wisest king
be it those winged creatures that soar humming
one day all will perish under the sky
Yet there may be much more than strikes the eye
whispering melodies resurge to sing
trail of shadows persistent lingering
enshrined in sobs interlaced with that sigh
Does one truly transcend to high heaven
Or merely swap a realm for another
Yesteryear's dad now lives in the grandson
to reweave reveries thrown asunder
As kindred souls club forged anew as one
Life immortalised through gracious venture

How easy it is not to be sought or seen;
hiding from existence,
weakening confidence,
missing its eloquence...
when feelings resurge
to question the misery of what has been
with a pathetic urge.
Why does one choose
those moods of loneliness
and turn into a lurking shadow,
then rest under a solitary willow?
Why be the friend of gloomy solitude,
instead of the friend of cheery sunshine?
Nothing is to be gained if ingratitude
doesn't allow reality and truth to entwine.
Note on picture # 1: Being invisible or hiding from the world
is self-infliction, it effects teens and adults who are
misunderstood and unloved.

A grandmother- she is a mother blessed
with life that comes from her times two.
Her precious children pass on her genes
to new life via theirs with chosen mates.
Again, she can cradle newborns with love,
assist to nourish and shape their growth;
resurge the joys of motherhood, matured.
Being close or far away, her faithful love,
patience and generosity are special gifts
for dear grandkids- each one, a blessing.

How easy it is not to be sought or seen,
hiding from existence,
missing its eloquence...
when feelings resurge
to question the misery of what has been.
Why does one choose
moods of loneliness
and turn into a lurking shadow,
then rest under a solitary willow?
Why be the friend of solitude,
instead of sunshine on spring days?
That's what made me hide,
not living fully and loving happily;
avoiding sunlight, awaiting darkness
and fall asleep on a cold pillow
to emit sighs of painful sorrow.
Did I ever think how beautiful it was
to hold hands and smile while
moonbeams inspired fantasy?
No, I hid from the beautiful moon of midnight
denying myself the sweetness of gentle words
spoken by lips that had the sincerity of a true heart;
how I regret the unwillingness to share those hugs!
Be warned that hiding from existence
is another form of perfidious pretense:
to go unnoticed and not being loved;
are you willing to pay the same price,
or choose to love like the ones who failed twice?
Learn from them and share their joyful world!

How perfidious is it to hide,
not to be found and be recognized
for the values not revealed
but shamefully being cast aside?
How deplorable is it to renounce existing,
refusing the crown of meekness,
a life of peaceful days, of a lesser complicity
and accept the glory of vanity...
when feelings of betrail resurge, contesting
the perception of loss beyond credibility?
Does one choose loneliness so voraciously sought,
that retreat from a squalid existence that fate brought
to a secluded place that lacks colors and sounds
allowing horrid darkness to descend upon defeats,
blocking out the brilliance and blighting the thoughts
of a mind in search of solitude and self-awareness?
How pathetic us to turn
into a lurking shadow
to conceal the frown of scorn,
the angry look of hurt...
rejecting soothing comfort,
accepting horrid sorrow!
Do all have the same principles of idiocy
and follow a deceiving voice
swerving them from reason...
does it offer delusions that attempt treason?
How strong is their effect on honesty;
how will it coordinate with their choice?

Gorillas and marsupials roughneckin
Raccoon crimes tugging at exuberant garbage
The animals bothered by zoo keepers
Growing agility beyond the tethered creepers
Come penguin toes to inner groves
Platypus genetic hijacking
Grinding with terrorist code makers
The viral stream indeed to blow the roof off
Dominoes stacks clatter and shatter
Melting before the plantary beast
A hubris outlasting before the peace
Running pocket watches with swiss army bandits
Throwing aside overblown stadium pride
To amply resound with master tire parades
Safely sleeping, tucked, folded and stowed away
Electric energy to resurge the beast

When everything seems too dark
to live your day through doubts that linger,
invent a peace never imagined...
something you have dreamed of doing!
Calm waters never anticipate storms,
troubled waters do and shake your ark,
all the passion you put into it will be showing;
and whenever dangers are found:
your confidence will make you stronger!
Try to live in peace through chaotic times,
seek out a remote place and meditate,
get rid of all negative feelings
and prevent a possible loss;
you can find comfort in prayers,
you can find comfort in songs...
they will change your image!
When everything turns upside down,
don't be discouraged, thrive off!
Who hates, kills, and destroys scoffs
at compassion and inflicting pain he gains
that false pride of invincibility
that'll bring him down to his knees:
he'll realize the hurt he has caused others...
shouldn't he be punished for his cruelty?
Mankind will repeat the same mistakes,
regardless of the bloodshed on battlefields,
regardless of the cries, we hear daily;
a merciless leader will incite warriors to fight
for a cause, they believe seems right...
is it their solemn oath or unbreakable loyalty?
There have been moments if calmness
and being brief they don't promise stability;
unexpectedly, a tyrant will resurge and tear down
all that was built and with his slyness will deceive many
promising to bring relief only to aggravate tempers,
and amid suppression can one invent a peace never imagined?
The one elected will seize power and will govern for gain...
until his foolishness is such an excessive weight to be carried on
his shoulders: he'll lack the wisdom to finish what he promised!

Lyric
So they told us to all lock down,
and stay inside for months on end.
They savaged the economy,
I guess that it was all pretend
since now thousands of snowflakes are
rioting in such massive groups...
Maybe Corona doesn’t hurt
human beings when they want to loot?
The media that chastised us
for wanting to reopen doors,
now venerates these rioters
even declares we should see more.
More people shot, more windows smashed,
more madness spread in our cities,
it’s funny how they changed so fast,
forgot that whole Chinese disease.
And all of the same leftist types
who fought to keep their states closed off,
now cheer-lead mobs roaming the streets,
and terrorizing every block.
No thought of if the pandemic
might resurge because of all this,
I guess that was yesterday’s panic,
now up to terrorists they kiss.
I guess this should teach all of us,
don’t listen to what they may tell,
they just chase what brings them power,
even if it brings us all hell.
Maybe we should bring it to them as well.

??EVERGREEN??
Green Panther, does wearing green
Or being homegrown and living as indigene
equals patriotism and makes you ever green?
Does staying or returning to your home country
signifies patriotism and make you unchary?
Your choice annihilate your reality as a being.
Like a garden, no black nor blue is ever seen.
Living matutinal lifestyle, I resurge to green thoughts
to exeunt in green array, occupying my daily slot.
Don't change but embrace the greenness of nature;
Your legacy remains irrespective of life's puncture,
only if you decide your destiny with your own signature.
